Golden State Warriors jersey history - No. 12 - Andrew Bogut (2012-16)
Golden State Warriors jersey history - No. 12 - Andrew Bogut (2012-16) The Golden State Warriors have had over 600 players don the more than 60 jersey numbers used by their players over the more than 75 years of existence the team has enjoyed in its rich and storied history. Founded in 1946 during the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- a precursor league of the NBA) era, the team has called home the cities of Philadelphia, San Francisco, Oakland, and even San Diego. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Warriors Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. For this article, we begin with the 23rd of 28 players who wore the No. 12 jersey for the Warriors. That player would be Golden State big man alum Andrew Bogut. After ending his college career at Utah, Bogut was picked up with the first overall selection of the 2005 NBA draft by the Milwaukee Bucks. The Melbourne, Australia native would play the first seven seasons of his pro career with the Bucks, ending when he was dealt to the Dubs in 2012. His stay with the team would span five seasons, coming to an end when he was traded to the Dallas Mavericks in 2016. During his time suiting up for the Warriors, Bogut wore only jersey No. 12 and put up 6.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Go inside Aussie NBA great Andrew Bogut's amazing $8million beachside mansion
Fresh off his induction into the FIBA Hall of Fame, Australian basketball legend Andrew Bogut has listed one of the Gold Coast 's most striking coastal homes - an architectural gem dubbed the 'Copper House'. Bogut, a former NBA No.1 draft pick and Golden State Warriors champion, is asking $7.95million for the bold three-level mansion perched above Currumbin Beach. Designed by celebrated architect Paul Uhlmann, the seven-bedroom, four-bathroom home sits on a 774 square metre elevated block at 4 Duringan Street. Bogut originally purchased the home in 2019 for $4.45million. Since then, it's become one of the most recognisable properties on the southern Gold Coast, known for its sweeping ocean views, dramatic curved copper-clad exterior, and luxury finishes throughout. The interiors use a mix of timber, stone, stainless steel and blackbutt flooring to create warmth and texture, softened by natural light pouring through oversized windows. A sleek designer kitchen with high-end European appliances opens onto a formal dining room, complete with a wine collector's cabinet. Living areas are thoughtfully positioned on the upper floor to maximise the panoramic sea outlook. 'Function and flow have been thoughtfully considered,' the listing reads, highlighting a vast covered terrace that connects the home to the stunning coastline. There's also an internal glass lift, multiple outdoor entertaining zones, a six-person spa, and a large pool. It's a layout tailored for both luxury and practicality, with dual master suites across separate levels - ideal for multi-generational living. After purchasing a larger acreage property in Mudgeeraba for $6.45million last year, Bogut began renting out the Copper House at $5000 per week. The move now appears permanent, with the basketball star ready to hand over keys to one of the area's most talked-about homes. Bogut's off-court moves have been just as strategic as his play on the hardwood. Since retiring in 2020, the 40-year-old has become a prominent figure in Australian basketball, taking a 10 per cent ownership stake in the Sydney Kings and joining their coaching staff for the upcoming 2026 NBL season. His transition into leadership has coincided with widespread recognition of his impact on the game. In May 2025, he was named the ninth Australian inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame. The honour acknowledged his 14-season NBA career and 15-year contribution to the Australian Boomers, including three Olympic Games and two FIBA World Cups. Bogut didn't shy away from referencing his infamous 2019 outburst against FIBA following a controversial World Cup semi-final loss to Spain. At the time, he accused officials of bias, saying: 'It's a fing disgrace. Cheating ass motherf***ers. Google where headquarters of f***ing FIBA is.' The spray earned him a $12,000 fine and a formal warning. But at the Hall of Fame ceremony in Bahrain, Bogut poked fun at the saga, telling the crowd, 'I now realise that FIBA HQ is actually in Switzerland and not Spain. Give me some credit though - they both start with an 'S'.' Looking back, Bogut said lifting Australia's basketball standards was what meant the most. 'When I first got involved with the national team, just making the second round felt like a title,' he said. 'Being part of the group that changed that mentality, who made top-four finishes and medals realistic, is something I'll always be proud of.' He described Australia's 2019 exhibition win over the USA in Melbourne as the standout moment of his career.

Bogut pokes fun during FIBA Hall of Fame induction
Australian basketball great Andrew Bogut has poked fun at his past allegations of FIBA corruption upon his induction into international basketball's Hall of Fame. Bogut became the ninth Australian inducted after a stellar career that spanned 14 NBA seasons and three Olympic Games campaigns with the Boomers. The 40-year-old also featured at two FIBA World Cups, and famously slammed the sport's global governing body after Australia's loss to Spain in a 2019 semi-final. At the time, Bogut was reported as saying: "We all know where FIBA's headquarters is. It's a f***ing disgrace. Cheating ass motherf***ers… Google where headquarters of f***ing FIBA is... f***ing disgrace". Bogut was later issued with an "official warning" and a $12,000 fine for the outburst. Formally accepting his Hall of Fame induction in Bahrain, Bogut couldn't help but make light of what was then a tense situation. "I now realise that FIBA HQ is actually in Switzerland and not Spain," Bogut said. "Give me some credit though - they both start with an 'S'." Bogut was the first Australian selected with the No.1 NBA draft pick (2005) and played 682 games in the league, winning a championship with Golden State in 2015. The 207cm centre/forward was also a key figure for the Boomers over a 15-year period that saw the team emerge as a genuine threat on the international stage. "When I first got involved with the national team, for us to just make it to the second round of a tournament was like a championship back then," Bogut said. "The bar wasn't set high and mediocrity was sort of accepted. "It was just that the talent pool wasn't at the level that we have now. "Being a part of that changing mindset and being a part of lifting the national team to be consistently in the top four or a chance to medal at every tournament, it's something that I really hold dear to my heart." Bogut declared Australia beating the USA in Melbourne during the build-up to the 2019 World Cup was his career highlight. "It was a big deal for us, even though it was a friendly game," Bogut said. "From never beating the US to doing it on home soil in my home city, in front of a record crowd ... it was sensational." Bogut joins fellow Australians Penny Taylor, Robyn Maher, Tom Maher, Michele Timms, Jan Stirling, Andrew Gaze, Lindsay Gaze and Al Ramsay in FIBA's Hall of Fame. The Sydney Kings part-owner will serve as an assistant coach to former Boomers mentor Brian Goorjian at the NBL club next season.
